This two-storey brick house on Machray Avenue in Winnipeg, measuring 28 feet by 42 feet, was designed and built by local architect Max Zev Blankstein and built in 1922 at a cost of about $8,000.
It would serve as Blankstein’s home and office from 1922 until his death in 1931. His son Cecil Nathan Blankstein established the architectural firm Green Blankstein Russell and Associates in this house until later moving to larger premises.
